Shi Qingxuan didn't say anything else.
Xie Lian felt uneasy and asked, "Master Fengshi? What's wrong with you? Are you still there? What happened? Why aren't you talking?"
If he had been taken away by some playful night wanderer in the chaos, he wouldn't have suddenly fallen silent. Could he have been killed? However, there was no point in worrying. He didn't even know where the Wind Master was at the moment!
The crowd finally quieted down, and Ming Yi finally escaped from the Feng Shui temple. The Celestial Realm had a rule that forbids the abuse of magical powers or the whimsical manifestation of spirits against mortals. Any harm or death would be punished. This rule was a real pain for the well-behaved priests; otherwise, with a wave of their hands, the whole crowd would be sent flying along with the roof. The crowd finally reacted, screaming, "It's here! It's really here!" "The monster is coming!" and all dispersed. Xie Lian asked, "Master Earth Master! Why didn't you hold onto Master Wind Master just now? Did you see him? When did you get separated?"
Mingyi said, "Just now, a ghost took advantage of the chaos in the crowd and attacked people."
He probably saw someone in danger and was distracted to save them. He fought the ghost but lost his friend. Xie Lian said, "Let's split up and look for them! They shouldn't have gone far."
Suddenly, Shi Qingxuan's voice resounded from the spiritual formation. He laughed loudly, "Hahahahahahahahaha..."
Although the laughter was quite abrupt, it still had an echo. Xie Lian hurriedly said, "Master Fengshi! What happened just now? You suddenly stopped talking. I thought something had happened to you."
Shi Qingxuan said: "Hahahahahahahahaha, how is it possible? Is it so easy for this Wind Master to get into trouble? I was just joking to scare you. Hahahahahahaha, Brother Ming, you bastard, you didn't even hold me back. If I die, I will definitely turn into Jue and come to find you. Hahahahahahahaha..."
Ming Yi said, "Stop laughing. Speak human language!"
Xie Lian already knew that the more nervous, excited, and frightened this man became, the more he would laugh. So, he had forgotten even to pause and interrupted him, "You didn't say anything, did you? Did your expression change noticeably? Did you resist?"
Shi Qingxuan said, "I didn't say anything. My expression didn't change. I didn't resist."
Xie Lian thought to himself, "This is bad. He's frightened out of his wits."
He slowed his tone and spoke gently, "Very good. Listen to me, Master Wind Master, it's okay. Don't be afraid. Just stay as you are and pretend you didn't notice anything. If you have anything to say, tell us quietly in the spiritual formation, anytime. But don't let that thing discover that you already know what it is. Quietly spread your spiritual light, forming a magic field around you to protect you. This will ensure that you won't fall or fall into the pit. If any weapon attacks, you will also be able to sense it."
Shi Qingxuan's voice was tearful: "Oh. And then?"
Xie Lian said, “Then take a deep breath. Just like that, do it a few more times… Is it getting better?”
His voice was very gentle and soothing. Shi Qingxuan said, "I seem to be feeling a little better. Thank you, Your Highness."
Xie Lian then asked tentatively, “Then… what do you think would happen if you opened your eyes right now and took a peek at that thing that’s pulling you?” Could he hold on?
Shi Qingxuan said, "He will die."
“…”
It seemed that if Shi Qingxuan opened his eyes, his fear would reach its peak the instant he did so, becoming a perfect delicacy and nourishment for the Baihua Zhenxian. After that, he would likely lose his fighting ability. Furthermore, if that thing happened to be staring directly at him the moment he opened his eyes, the dignified Wind Master might foam at the mouth and fall like a star. Xie Lian said, "Then you'd better keep your eyes closed."
Mingyi asked, "Which direction did it take you after leaving the Fengshui Temple?"
What they needed most now was Shi Qingxuan's location. With his eyes closed, Shi Qingxuan couldn't see where he had gone, but he could estimate his location based on the general direction and the length and number of steps. Shi Qingxuan said, "I don't know."
Mingyi: "I don't even know this!"
Shi Qingxuan was furious: "Who would remember something like this? And didn't I think it was you?"
Hua Cheng was watching from the sidelines, so bored that he changed back into his red outfit, then back into black, and then into white. Almost every time Xie Lian turned around, he would instantly change his appearance. The way he tied his hair, accessories, boots, etc. were all different. Sometimes he looked playful, sometimes elegant, sometimes solemn, and sometimes gorgeous. Xie Lian was dazzled by the sight and couldn't help looking back. After realizing it, he blinked violently, stopping the urge to blurt out "This outfit is nice" and "It looks good", and said, "Wait, wait, now is not the time to argue. If you argue more, Master Feng will take another step away. The further you go, the harder it will be to find him."
Shi Qingxuan said painfully, "I said, you really can't find me? It's only about fifty or sixty steps away, definitely not more than a hundred steps, and you're walking so slowly!!!"
Less than a hundred steps? Mingyi rushed out quickly and disappeared at the end of the street. But in a moment, he reappeared at the entrance of the Feng Shui Temple at lightning speed and said, "No!"
It's broken. Xie Lian said, "Shrink the earth a thousand miles!"
After the Immortal Baihua took advantage of the chaos to lead the Wind Master out of the Fengshui Temple, he must have immediately used the Shrinking the Earth a Thousand Miles spell to send them elsewhere. Otherwise, they would have been found less than a hundred steps away. Once this spell is activated, who knows where they will be sent? Finding the Wind Master's whereabouts is like looking for a needle in a haystack!
This matter couldn't be taken lightly, so Xie Lian immediately said, "I'll go to the Heavenly Palace's spiritual communication array and report it."
Shi Qingxuan hurriedly said, "Wait! Your Highness, don't go! You promised me to keep it a secret. My brother is about to pass his third heavenly tribulation. Three tribulations are a big hurdle, and we absolutely cannot let this one fail!"
Ming Yi said: "If you delay any longer, I will let you pass the tribulation now."
Shi Qingxuan angrily said, "I said no, and it means no. So many eyes are on my brother. This thing deliberately chose this opportunity to find him. Don't even think about succeeding! Even if I die and my body rots, I will not be dug out until my brother has overcome his tribulation!"
After a while, Ming Yi said, "Okay. Okay!"
Xie Lian keenly sensed the anger beneath his tone, an unprecedented intensity. Feeling slightly uneasy, and unwilling to let it escalate and cause more trouble, he quickly asked, “Master Wind Master, has that thing been leading you this whole time?”
Shi Qingxuan said, "Yes. It's grabbing my arm."
Xie Lian asked, “Is there anything special about it? Like a special demonic aura, or a special smell, or something like that?”
"No. Nothing."
"What about the surroundings? For example, is the road rough or flat? Did you step on or kick anything?" Xie Lian wanted to see if he could quickly determine the general area based on the surroundings. Shi Qingxuan said, "The road surface is strange! It's soft and light, like it's on clouds."
“…” Xie Lian thought to himself, “You must be so scared that your legs are weak…”
With two of Shi Qingxuan's five senses sealed, it was difficult for him to provide any clues. He was afraid that this would be the end of the story. Although Huacheng had been watching the show with boredom, firstly, he was there for fun, had no relationship with Shi Qingxuan, and was from the ghost world, so he had no reason to help the priest. Secondly, Xie Lian didn't want to constantly trouble him for help. So, he calmed himself and said, "Master Fengshi, I have a way to get you away from that thing immediately, but I need your permission."
Shi Qingxuan immediately said, "Okay, I agree!"
Hua Cheng suddenly stopped and said, "Soul Transfer Technique?"
"What?"
Xie Lian said, “Indeed. It’s the Soul Transfer Technique!”
Soul Transfer, as the name suggests, is a soul-swapping spell. "With my eyes, I see what you see." This spell is rarely used. Firstly, the burning of mana is extremely brutal, and secondly, few are willing to hand over the all-important control of their bodies. Hua Cheng's expression hardened, and he said, "Brother, be careful."
Shi Qingxuan asked: "Then what will you do when you face it???"
Xie Lian said, “I’m not afraid of it, so it doesn’t matter.”
Mingyi said, "Change."
Hua Cheng said, "Brother, think about it carefully."
Suddenly, Shi Qingxuan said, "It stopped."
Upon hearing this, Xie Lian shouted from within the spiritual communication array, “No time to hesitate, now!”
Shi Qingxuan gritted his teeth and said, "I'm counting on you, Your Highness the Crown Prince!"
Xie Lian said, “Okay!”
As soon as he finished speaking, he closed his eyes. His body suddenly became extremely light, so light that it seemed to float up into the sky. Then it suddenly became extremely heavy, so heavy that it seemed to sink into the earth. After a period of dizziness and vertigo, he gradually regained his sense of reality. He steadied himself, still keeping his eyes closed. He could hear no sound.
A hand was grabbing his arm, standing still.
Xie Lian suddenly opened his eyes, removed his earplugs with one hand, and with the other, he seized the White Talking Immortal and said with a smile, "Hello?"
Shi Qingxuan closed his eyes for a long time, and darkness fell all around him. Therefore, when Xie Lian opened his eyes within his body, he couldn't adjust to the darkness and saw nothing. But the thing holding him had become his own. If Ruo Xie wasn't there, Xie Lian would have used a locking hand, clamping the hand like fine steel shackles, preventing the opponent from using magic to escape. From within the spiritual communication array, Shi Qingxuan's voice said, "Your Highness! Are you alright? If not, why don't you switch back first? Or I'll take over myself!!!"
It seemed that Shi Qingxuan had also safely transferred into his body. Xie Lian held the White Talking Immortal firmly in one hand while unleashing over thirty powerful kicks in the blink of an eye. "Very good!" He said, "It's just that the soul transfer had just begun, so it would be a little bit awkward to get used to it. But once it did, his attacks and kicks would become even more ferocious. Shi Qingxuan said, "Your Highness, I will tell you the secret formula of my magic weapon. Feel free to use my mana and anything else."
Xie Lian, without a sword, swung the Wind Master's fan open and said, "Alright!"
Shi Qingxuan continued, "I'll also tell you the secret of how to transform into a female form. My female form is even more powerful!"
Xie Lian flatly refused, "No. That's not necessary!"
Hua Cheng said in a deep voice, "Brother, look around quickly and tell me what kind of place this is."
Mingyi said, "No, first tell me what you are fighting with."
After a few words, Xie Lian's eyes gradually adjusted to the dark environment. He squinted and looked at the dark shadow opposite.
